Ben Kellert was born and raised on a farm south east of Leduc, Alberta. From a very young age he remembers attending numerous auctions with his Dad and Mom. During those visit to the local auction Barns he remembers listening and enjoying the chants of some of the “fore – fathers” of the Alberta Auction Business. People like Ron Underschultz, Herb and Jim Sept, Wally Glimm, Otto Streiberg, Ken Jacobsen, Ed Karlo, Gary Jarvis, John Isley, Barry Martins, Joe Dobyanski, and others who have influenced him in becoming an auctioneer himself.

In 2006 Ben attended and Graduated from The Western Canadian School Of Auctioneering. It was the knowledge and wisdom shared by then owner of the school (Delton Wolfe) that Launched Ben into this new found career and way of life.

In 2008 Ben competed and won the Vern Scown Memorial Tyro Contest; which a contest for new auctioneers. This opened many opportunities to practice his skills at numerous auctions in the Central and North Central Alberta area.
